Chromatic aberration

A general optical term.

A parent term for "lateral chromatic aberration" and "axial chromatic aberration".

In optics, chromatic aberration is the failure of a lens to focus all colours to the same point. It occurs because lenses have a different refractive index for different wavelengths of light.
